Hi there,
I haven't been able to get this question answered and was hoping you might know the
answer.
When the reports say that a vaccine is 95% effective, does that mean that each trial
participant was intentionally exposed to coronavirus and 95% of them do not get sick? Or
does the trial rely on community exposure, which is much more random?
Thanks for your help.
